DIY Hand drawn Tattoo flash scarf

My week of One Direction DIY's has began!! Here is the first instalment of some fun & easyish craft projects for everyone who has requested more 1D blog posts :) This is my way of saying thank you as I get a lot of traffic from my previous Dream Pillow tutorial.

This post is a little image heavy, sorry lol

WHAT YOU NEED

- blank scarf, $3 from cheap dollar store

- Sharpie, I used a laundry marker just to make sure the ink would hold. $2 from Big W..but you could use a normal sharpie if you like.

Step 2 - Place in center and tape to the back of the scarf to hold in place

Step 3 - Start to trace over the flash. The texter may bleed a little so in detailed areas do not press down too hard

While tracing, hold the fabric tightly with your fingers so the scarf keeps in place and the design stays in the right dimensions.

Step 4 - When finished remove the back template and check if you need to do any touch ups. Once you are happy then iron the scarf to give the ink extra hold (do not iron if fabric is not suitable)

And you are done, its super cute isn't it? and not to hard to do :D

I designed this from scanning the net for the One Direction guys tattoos and picking the ones which would be best suited to draw up. I know I may have not done your favourite tatts they have but you can always add them around my design or make up your own.

I think its easy to pick out who's tattoos are who's... of course the swallows are Harrys, the microphone is Zayns & Louis' compass tattoo. The designs may not be spot on so please don't hate on me for not getting them perfect but there is not many photos for much reference so I had to wing some of it :) The swallows I noticed was a cover up on Harrys chest (yes I do my research haha) so that's why his birds are not like a traditional swallow design so I am not too happy with how they look but hey its what he has :D

Please do not steal my photos and claim as your own or remove my watermark.

It takes me a long time to imagine, create & post these projects, I do not get anything from this, I just do it for fun so please respect me & do the right thing :D I don't like having to say any of this, nor do I like having such a huge watermark on my photos but due to my daughters One Direction bedroom being posted all over the internet and people claiming as their own I really have no choice :( She was very mad with me for that, I don't want a grumpy 13 year old again haha I am happy for people to post any of my photos as long as you link back or at-least keep the watermark on..

The tattoo flash printable that is available to download is FREE to you, please do not use for profit.

Have fun creating one of these, there is lots of possibilities with this DIY to customise into your own fashion accessory to wear. I will be having a 1D giveaway at the end of the week so come back and check what you could win, it could be this little baby!!!!

Fantastic! And what a great idea, I love it. I would never have thought of using tattoo designs and now I am so going to my thrift store and pick up a cool light-coloured scarf for this idea. Well, once I am not sick. Thank you, that is so amazing, I love how your scarf turned out!
